Description
Dear Workaway Travellers,
I live on a small horse farm in the north of Bavaria. A westernstyle riding school with nice horses, a dog and a cat at our place. A riding hall makes good weather all the year round. Our tiny village is surrounded by beautiful nature, many forests and hills.
Next little town is within 4 km distance, bigger cities in about 50 km.
Tourists and people from around visit us to learn how to ride horses and to understand them in their natural way of acting, also doing groundwork with them all based on natural horsemanship.
I'd like to host a DIY handyman/woman who likes horses and helping in and around the stable. An at least 3 weeks stay gives us the chance to have a good experience. Which means that in return you take part in our family life and learn about horses as much as you want.
So possibly seeing you soon!?

You will find a most motivated workawayer who loves to cook, is absolutely great with children and animals.
The daily chores were always fine with him and he did everything very reliably and correct.
We had a great time together and I will recomend him very much to future hosts.
Hope he will pass by again… read more
Uschi, and the whole beautiful family, is very welcoming, the accomodation is lovely: a nice private cozy room with bathroom, food is always delicious (obv, with two chefs in the family!) and the surrounding area has the most beautiful forests I have… read more

An meinem ersten Tag wurde ich herzlichst empfangen und ich konnte mich sehr schnell einleben, was ganz besonders an Uschis offener, herzlicher und unkomplizierten Art liegt. Wir hatten tolle Gespräche, schöne Film und Spieleabende und konnten viel lachen. Aber Uschi hat einem immer seinen… read more
Handling them (also our cats and dogs) in such a gentle and fine way - he was perfect to fit in our big family.
Be very glad to have him as your guest.

On very short notice he decided to come to visit our horse farm and big family.
Everybody loved him and his so polite, friendly and helpful manner. From child minding, to horse stable cleaning, building a little tool shed (beeing very patient with me, reading/understanding the German… read more
He was staying with us for three weeks. Far too short.
A great guy, who was loved by anybody of our big family - especially our 'little prince' (3) was excited when playing with him. Like a fresh summerwind he blew in new motivation and a lot of improvements into my horse stable to be prepared for our long winter.

if you like horses, if you like big sweet dogs, if you like open, jovial, friendly, nice people, with a sense of humour, if you like intelligent children (well, actually only one child, but which is capable of doing what several would do at the same time ...!), if you like forests ..., the small Uschi horse farm is your… read more
I highly recommend these people to accommodate workawayers.
Einen schönen Gruß
Bis nachher
Ich bin einen Monat geblieben und habe viel gelernt (Mit Pferden, Deutschsprache und auch ein bisschen Bayerisch :) )
Uschi ist sehr freundlich und offen. Ihre Familie und die andere Reitern sind auch ganz nett.

He is very good with animals and so I was very glad to have such a great helper who I could rely on perfectly when I wasn`t able to care for the horses myself.
That's for the work - and then there was a lot of fun - such a cheerful guy, with never ending stories you… read more
After moving into my new flat she helped me sorting out or at least to find a place for all my more or less useful belongings. She is very responsible in helping and sees the things to be done. She is also wonderful with horses and the work around.
